I read this a lot on here but I am entirely confused as to where it comes from. New Fleet may be a threat to your potential variable payments in the future but then BA has offered a way out of that, in the form of a move towards more fixed payments.
Where exactly do any other losses come from - you aren't being asked for a pay cut you are being asked to work with a reduced crewing compliment and to increas productivity. The new fleet being separate means that you still have the potential for upgrade within your own fleets. Yes less purser positions available but also less main crew to fight for them, and all the cuts in head count are via voluntary means....I fail to see where all this "huge" loss in earnings talk is coming from.
